Apple iPad Reviews Are Coming In
Overwhelmingly Great!!!
One of the objectives we have is similar to Nicholas Negroponte's the One Laptop Per Child Program, except our idea is to have One iPad Per Child. I believe the iPad form factor is much better than the OLPC XO laptops because it has no mechanical or moving parts and is even more portable and lighter in weight. Also the iPad has a much higher definition screen that is much more immersive and successfully competes with the 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
Remember how when you were a kid you used to carry around a back-breaking backpack filled with school books and notebooks and pens and pencils? I believe the iPad will completely eliminate this need for future generations and an iPad will not only be able to play multimedia like audio and video, but have the ability to record teachers voices so you don't even have to take notes.
I am sharing this particular video, because the reviewer shows a book on the periodic table of elements and points out that when he was a child if he had this book, he probably would have been much more engaged in science. In the final analysis, I believe the best way to engage a child's mind is to make the education entertaining and thus engaging. You can even call it Edutainment.
